In this episode, we welcome Lee Ann Mancini, author of Raising Kids to Follow Christ, Bible professor, and advocate for equipping parents and ministry leaders to guide the next generation in building a strong foundation in faith. Lee Ann shares insights from her extensive research and personal experience as a mother of two adult children and discusses the pressing challenges families face today in a culture increasingly hostile to biblical truth.

Lee Ann dives into:

• The alarming statistics about young people walking away from faith and the cultural factors contributing to this trend.

• Practical steps for parents and grandparents to instill a biblical worldview in their children, starting as early as infancy.

• The importance of intentional parenting and creating a family mission statement to guide your home.

• How to navigate difficult topics like gender dysphoria, digital safety, and the influence of media.

• Encouragement for parents who feel they’ve fallen short and actionable ways to move forward with grace and consistency.

Lee Ann reminds us that raising children in today’s world requires prayer, preparation, and persistence. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or ministry leader, this conversation will inspire you to take an active role in helping the next generation stand firm in their faith.
